Chapter 28

Gianna's POV

I woke up and the first thing I did was look at the right side of my bed. Wala akong nakita. It must've been a dream then. It was too clear and specific to be a dream though.

Babangon na sana ako ng maramdaman ko ang bahagyang kirot sa pagitan ng hita ko. And why the hell am I naked? Was I that tired last night to just remove all mt clothes and sleep naked?

Dahan dahan akong bumangon at kinuha ang robe kong nakasabit sa upuan sa malapit. Paglingon ko sa kama, nakita kong may kaunting dugo sa bed sheet. Fuck! I really wasn't dreaming then.

I took a quick shower and dressed in shorts ang a t-shirt. Wala akong teacher sa dalawang subject kaya di na lang ako papasok buong araw. Sabado naman kaya okay lang.

Bumaba ako para kumain pero tumambad sa akin ang nakaboxers lang na si Ryan. He looked at me shyly and scratched his nape. He was frying some bacon while holding a mug coffee in his other hand.

I looked at him coldly. "What are you still doing here?"

Biglang nag-iba ang ekspresyon sa mga mata niya. "We can't just forget what happened Gi," he said with just enough venom in his voice to give me chills.

"Eh anong gagawin natin? It was a spur of the moment thing Ry. Di na yun mauulit. So might as well forget it ever happened." Lalong dumilim ang tingin niya. Ano bang gusto niya. Don't most guys prefer sex without strings?

Tumikhim siya at pinatay ang stove. Binagsak niya ang hawak niyang mug sa counter. I was quite surprised di nabasag yun. "Naririnig mo ba ang sarili mo Gianna? Ganyan pa rin ba sasabihin mo sakaling ibang lalaki ako?"

Umirap lang ako at kumuha ng sariling baso at nilagyan yin ng kape. "Probably," I said nonchalantly. I saw his knuckles whiten as he gripped the counter harder.

"My God Gianna! Wala ka bang pagpapahalaga sa sarili mo? You were a fucking virgin for goodness sake. Kung makapagsalita ka parang walang nawala sayo. Na parang one night stand lang nangyari!"

"Bakit? Hindi ba! I don't know if its your first time too but you act as if your the one who lost their virginity here." Pinatulan ko na rin ang init ng ulo niya. Besides, with those looks and that body, it's doubtful if this was also the first time he's ever had sex. Akmang sasagot na sana siya nang unahan ko siya sa pagsasalita. "Dont bother explaining yourself. I don't care either way."

Mukhang naubusan na sa wakas ng pasensya si Ryan. "You know what?! Never mind. There's no point talking to you." Lumapit siya sa akin at hinawakan ako sa sa pisngi. "Pero wag kang magkakamaling isiping tapos na tayo Gianna. Coz we are far from over."

Umalis siya sa harap ko at kinuha ang damit niyang di ko napansing nakasabit sa upuan sa gilid. He put on his clothes. I was expecting the loud bang of the door closing but I was so not ready for whay happened next.

"Gianna!" Oh my God! Boses yun ni Tito! Ano ba namang kamalasan to!?

Tinakbo ko ang daan papuntang sala. Tito was there with one of his guards behind him. Paglingon ko kay Ryan, di pa nabubutones pantalon niya at di maayos pagkakasuot niya ng t-shirt niya.

"Tito, this is not what it looks like. It was so raining so hard last night..." I was talking at rapid pace pero parang walang narinig si tito.

"Ryan already told me everything Gianna! And I mean everything! And I doubt kung gagawin mo yun. Oo yan simula sa nangyari kagabi pero alam natin pareho di mo sasabihin ang lahat. My God Gianna! Akala ko ba galit ka sa kanya?!

Di ko mapigilang matakot kay Tito ngayon. I have never been at the receiving side of his anger before. Now I know why his enemies never succeeded in bringing him down. Galit pa lang niya, nakakatakot na. "Tito, I was. I am," I answered. "Please Tito, this wasn't supposed to happen. Di namin to ginusto. Di na rin to mangyayari ulit."

"I do not give a damn whether this is going to happen again or not Gianna! Papanagutan ka ng gagong to as soon as possible. Thank God you are both legal! Kuya must be rolling in his grave right now!"

Nagpipigil ng tawa ang guard ni Tito. Medyo malapit kasi kami nito kasi we were like family. Tahimik masyado si Ryan. I get the feeling he likes where this is going kaya di siya umaangal.

Minabuti ko na lang na manahimik. "And you," bumaling siya kay Ryan. "I expect your father to know about this by the end of the day and I expext him to call me or there will be consequences."

AUTHOR'S NOTE:

Guys!!! I had no idea this story was so inconsistent. Sa sobrang bagal kong mag UD, nakakalimutan ko na minsan ano dapat ilagay. Ngayon ko lang binasa ulit ang buong story. I doubt if this will rectify the mistakes but here goes:

1. Incoming fourth year talaga si Gianna. Accountancy ang course. Nalilito na kasi ako sa subjects na nilalagay ko.
2. David ang pangalan ng Tito niya. Di Anton. Sa isang story ko yata dapat nilalagay ang Anton.
3. Bakla talaga si Paul at isa yun sa sa reasons nagbreak sila. Nagkagusto din ang dating bestfriend ni Gianna kay Paul.
